    Ladybird thanks re backdated CSA i didn't know that. I'm on I.S. so can only keep £20 afaik? If they took all the backdated in one go then they'd just keep it wouldn't they? Although i think he's doing basic factory work so unless he gets a job in what he is qualified for then i think it'll be pennies.

    still catching up, gawd i was only gone 10 mins wasn't i :eek:

    edit - frecking hell how long is this post? lmao.

    I don't know about it being paid just about it being deducted but I woud hope that if you've not had your £20 for (say) 3 weeks then you would be given the bacckdated amount once they finally got their hands on it. Might be worth checking with the csa. Did you manage to find our which agency he is working for?

    Hello and congrats :jWelcome to the mad house :D

    It's snowing again here. We found snowdrops in the woods the other day and some buds on some shrubs, so I was hoping that was a sign it was warming up. Maybe not!
    Here I go again on my own....

    Hi KT congratulations! :j:j

    We've just had breakfast - goin to try Caitlyn on a bottle of Aptimil to see if she really doesn't like it or whether she was just being stubborn for the CM!

    SM I'm hoping the fairies will be flying today, but they have a heavyish load to carry so it may take them until about Tuesday/Wednesday :)

    Right off to look at the Tesco DVD loophole........

    Hi KT :) sounds like a good first week! It'll change before you know it but usually in good ways, honest ;)

    Morning all
    After Thu night and Fri's hideousness, I had to spend about 2 hours talking OH into going to bed (nausea felt worse lying down and she really has a phobia thing about vomiting - she was absolutely terrified of a repeat performance, and a bit feverish too) but when I eventually succeeded, all 3 of us slept like logs from midnight til 7am :)
    This morning E has a very wet sounding cough and lots of snot but no signs of vomit so fingers crossed. He is off his food but still had mad activity levels - if you lot have a ballerina and a rock climber, I think I have a mosher... his recent favourite thing is to drag you by the fingers and shove your knees shouting MOAH! MOAH! UP! until you go into his nursery and lift him into his cot. Then he wildly flails and spins in circles bouncing off the sides and falling over again and again and cackling like a madman, during which you must watch him. Any attempts to sneak out are met with piercing screams and pointing fingers of accusation! Just the way to start the morning :p

    Hope people got some good sleep! Sounds like Tara and MM had fun :)

Well what did he expect when I went to bed at 11.30 with William, awake at 1.00 for bottle, Henry awake at 2 and then up at 5.30 (convinced him to go back to bed) and then both of them up at 6.30!!!!! grrr men :mad:

    hello! Finn had his jabbies yesterday, so I expected a very rocky night. All in all, he was very unsettled in the evening but once he finally conked out, he was fine! Huzzah.

    jenny - what's this mythical class by Lambeth council? HMPH, I haven't heard a peep! Of course, Erin's like 2 months older than Finn so maybe there's still time for us :P. Do you know of any baby massage in the area? My HVs are useless!!

    Welcome KT!

    I've made a new mommy friend from Netmums that had her baby on Sunday and got to visit her yesterday - OMG, I've already forgotten how tiny they are!! It's crazy, I still feel like I have a fresh newborn baby, but he's already so massive after just 9 weeks.

    I'm also in the market for a cot, as Finn is quickly reaching the top of his Moses basket :eek:. But it'll be eBay local for me all the way...I think then we will assemble a 'proper' nursery for him finally...he's already sleeping in the other room.
    top 2013 wins: iPad, £50 dental care, £50 sportswear, £50 Nectar GC, £300 B&Q GC; jewellery, Bumbo, 12xPringles, 2xDiesel EDT, £25 Morrisons, £50 Loch Fyne

    would like to win a holiday, please!!
    :xmassmile Mummy to Finn - 12/09; Micah - 08/12! :j

    Have been awake since 5.45am :( cats decided to run around and attempt to dig to Australia in the litter tray, and then Seth woke up hungry and refused to go back down again. Lush!

    He has decided that his favourite thing to do this morning is crawl while sliding his hands around on DVD cases shouting to the whole of the street about it!
